Hearne, Thomas, 1744-1817 · 1807 · London : Printed for T. Cadell and W. Davies · 14 pictures

Antiquities of Great Britain, published in London in 1807 by T. Cadell and W. Davies and engraved from drawings by Thomas Hearne, is a topographical album of views of monasteries, castles and churches for antiquarian collectors. Its engravings show ruined towers, gatehouses and arched chapel interiors rendered in fine, even line with soft grey tonal shading and wide skies, offering designers a model for restrained architectural landscape vignettes.
